The industry continues to see a death loss increase in growing and finishing cattle. How do we change the trend? In this webinar, we’ll explore how modifying our approach to vaccination might be the key to flattening the curve.
 
Much of the solution hinges on Mannheimia haemolytica. We know that M. haemolytica is the leading cause of Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) complex and is present in nearly 75% of all diagnosed cases. Further, M. haemolytica is the primary cause of severe pneumonia and death loss.1 Estimates show that up to 70% of all U.S. feedlot cattle deaths are attributed to BRD.2 And the combined costs of BRD—including death loss, reduced performance, treatment, labor resources—make it the costliest disease affecting cattle in the U.S.3
 
How can producers and veterinarians get ahead of these health challenges and losses? How can they lessen the impact of M. haemolytica?
 
An effective vaccination program can reduce the incidence of pneumonia and death. This includes vaccinating ahead of potential stress—such as transportation and commingling—to give animals protection when they need it most. Learn how with NUPLURA® PH, the fastest M. haemolytica prevention on the market, you can improve your herd health and bottom line.
